I came across an article on CoinDesk about this with the title "DirectPool Aims To Prevent 51% Attack with Community-First Mining Pool Approach." I have also read the "spoiler" above.
I need someone to explain exactly how DirectPool aims to prevent a 51% attack on the network. More specifically, what is different about DirectPool that would mitigate the risk of a 51% attack on the network?
Additionally, I am having a lot of trouble comprehending the "Community-First" aspect.
As it stands, all I see is another pool to point your miners at. I fail to see any sort of value add. Quite honestly, I fail to see any way DirectPool aims to prevent a 51% attack and I fail to see any way they are putting community first through their pool.
I responded to your post here:

The worker's donation % is going to funding projects and it seems that the voting (POLL) system isn't up yet.
